Is Nickelodeon Promoting Diversity or Perversity with its Homosexual
Agenda?

June 19, 2002

Nickelodeon, one of the Viacom Corporations divisions, has decided
your children need to accept the notion that homosexuality is merely a
form of diversity like religion, or race. Linda Ellerbee produced
the show My Family Is Different which was aired Tuesday night.
She said she was "puzzled" by the backlash against the production
from pro-family groups such as The Traditional Values Coalition.

Iím promoting tolerance and respect for diversity in the family,
she said. I donít understand why anyone would object to a special
with the message we may not agree with you, but we donít want to
hurt you for the way you feel.

Well, now, as I understand the Traditional Values Coalition, they are
not objecting at all to the way homosexuals FEEL. What they are concerned
about is what the Viacom Corporation and the homosexual lobby is TEACHING
children. Viacom is teaching this notion about homosexuality through their
other business entities too, which include CBS, MTV, VH1, BET, Paramount
Pictures, Viacom Outdoor, Infinity, UPN, TNN: The National Network, CMT:
Country Music Television, Showtime, Blockbuster, and Simon & Schuster.

In this day an age, when words are used to sell almost anything, it is
a good idea to check out how the dictionary defines words like diversity.
Diversity, we are told in the dictionary, means a quality of being different.
The dictionary example of diversity in religion, for example, is that
it does not prevent friendship.

Of course, if people of one religion take it upon themselves to strap
bombs around their waist so they can kill people of another religion -
which is what is going on in the Middle East - it is certainly understandable
that the people getting killed or maimed might object to their children
being taught that religion.

Now, exactly what is it that parents of America might object to if their
children are being taught that the homosexual lifestyle is just as valid
a lifestyle as a heterosexual lifestyle? What IS the difference. Well,
of course, heterosexuality led the parents to fall in love with a member
of the opposite sex, marry, have children and create a home.

What is the homosexual lifestyle we are supposed to teach our children
is equal to their parents lifestyle? Are there any actual
dangers involved, or is this merely a matter of prejudice, as we have
been told by the homosexual lobby for years? Are the Boy Scouts REALLY
just being unfair in their standards by maintaining that homosexual scoutmasters
are not good role models for boys?

Shortly after President Clinton issued an executive order opening up
the U.S. military to homosexuals, his Surgeon General announced that homosexual
sex was normal and healthy.

A few months later, Paul Cameron, William L. Playfair, and Stephen Wellum
did a study on The Longevity of Homosexuals: Before and After the
AIDS Epidemic which was published
in the 1994-95 issue of OMEGA-Journal of Death and Dying. Since longevity
is commonly considered indicative of health of a population, the study
examined how long homosexuals lived before the AIDS epidemic and how long
do they live today?

The authors examined 6,737 obituaries/death notices from eighteen U.S.
homosexual journals over a period of thirteen years and compared them
to obituaries from two conventional newspapers and reported:

The obituaries from the non-homosexual newspapers were similar
to U.S. averages for longevity: the median age of death of married men
was seventy-five, 80 percent died old (65 or older); for unmarried men
it was fifty-seven, 32 percent died old; for married women it was seventy-nine,
85 percent died old; for unmarried women it was seventy-one, 60 percent
died old.

For the 6,574 homosexual deaths, the median age of death if AIDS
was the cause was thirty-nine irrespective of whether or not the individual
had a Long Time Sexual Partner (LTSP], 1 percent died old. For those 829
who died of non-AIDS causes the median age of death was forty-two (41
for those 315 with a LTSP and 43 for those 514 without) and < 9 percent
died old. Homosexuals more frequently met a violent end from accidental
death, traffic death, suicide, and murder than men in general. The 163
lesbians registered a median age of death of forty-four (20% died old)
and exhibited high rates of violent death and cancer as compared to women
in general.

Old homosexuals appear to have been proportionately less numerous
than their nonhomosexual counterparts in the scientific literature from
1858 to 1993. The pattern of early death evident in the homosexual obituaries
is consistent with the pattern exhibited in the published surveys of homosexuals
and intravenous drug abusers. Homosexuals may have experienced a short
lifespan for the last 140 years; AIDS has apparently reduced it about
10 percent.

The authors concluded: Such an abbreviated lifespan puts the healthfulness
of homosexuality in question.

The American public has been subjected to the most amazing propaganda
campaign in recent history that was designed by homosexual lobbyists to
change the thinking of the public - not only in America, but throughout
the world via the United Nations.

It is blatantly dishonest for Nickelodeon and the Viacom corporation,
with its multi-billion dollar propaganda machine, to teach children that
homosexuality is merely a sample of diversity. It more accurately might
be called a sample of perversity - which is defined in my dictionary as
being persistent or obstinate in doing what is wrong.

If the homosexual lobby, Nickelodeon and Viacom Corporation really want
to make homosexuality an issue in schools and childrens TV programs,
then lets tell the kids the whole story. The truth is, homosexuality
is a sad, non-productive lifestyle that produces no children, a great
deal of misery, violence and a short, sickly life.

Should we be teaching children to respect people who would
try to deceive them about what happens to people who are active homosexuals?
Is that the kind of difference that we want our children to
accept and respect?

Or should we be teaching the children to AVOID that kind of lifestyle?
We dont teach them to accept and respect smoking, shooting drugs
or alcoholism, why would we want to teach them to accept and respect behavior
that will kill them before they are old enough to retire?
